Whether you need a quick weeknight treat or a sophisticated make-ahead dessert for a dinner party, these Biscoff no-bake cheesecakes are ready when you are.

Why you will Love This No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake

• Creamy Cookie Butter in Every Bite - We don't just stop at the crust; the filling has real Biscoff spread and the reserved crumb topping is added on top for an extra crunch. This ensures that iconic spiced gingerbread flavor is front and center.
• 15 Minutes of Hands-On Prep - No water baths, no cracked tops, and no hovering by the oven. This is an easy recipe that delivers high-end results with minimal effort.
• Freeze Now, Dessert Anytime - By using Souper Cubes trays to portion the cheesecake, you skip the mess of slicing a whole cake. Just pop out a single serving whenever the craving hits.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions 

Biscoff Cookies - These provide the unique spiced flavor for the crust vs. traditional graham crackers. Swap ginger snaps (if you can’t find them) which are the closest flavor match, though Biscoff is highly recommended for the authentic taste.

Biscoff Spread (Creamy) - This acts as both a flavor agent and a stabilizer for the no-bake filling. Ensure you use the "creamy" version rather than "crunchy" for a silky texture.

Full-Fat Block Cream Cheese - This is the structural backbone. Do not use the whipped cream cheese or the kind in a tub; it contains too much air, lower protein structure, and higher water content, which will prevent the cheesecake from setting and holding its shape once thawed.

Heavy Whipping Cream & Sour Cream - The heavy cream provides loft, while the sour cream adds a necessary tang to cut through the sweetness of the cookie butter. If you prefer using Greek yogurt, suggest using full-fat Greek yogurt in a 1:1 ratio that can be used in place of sour cream. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Ingredients - Before starting, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature (about 68°F-72°F) before mixing. If one is colder than the other, your batter could get lumpy. Also, finely crush your Biscoff cookies in a food processor or blender until they look like sand. If you don’t have a processor or blender, you can simply add them to a freezer bag and crush by rolling them with a rolling pin.

2. Press the Crust - Stir crushed cookies with the melted butter and salt. Divide the mixture evenly (a heaping tablespoon per well) between three, Souper Cubes half-cup trays. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon; a tight pack ensures the crust doesn't crumble when you pop the frozen cubes out. If the crust seems too dry, add 1 extra teaspoon of melted butter to make sure the crust adheres to the filling.

3. Whip the Filling - In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Incorporate the Biscoff spread, then gently fold in the heavy cream and sour cream. You’re looking for a thick, mousse-like consistency that holds its shape. Take out a portion to add to the cookie butter for topping.

4. Portion the Batter -  Divide the batter into the trays. Scoop or use a piping bag to neatly put into the narrow trays.

5. Create the Biscoff Swirl - Take your reserved Biscoff batter (the portion mixed with extra spread) and drop small dollops on top.

Use a skewer or toothpick to create a marbled pattern by drawing a figure-8 on top. Top with the remaining cookie crumbs for a finished look.

Success Tips for No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake

• Avoid Over mixing the Cream - Once you add the heavy whipping cream, watch the mixer closely, you want to stop mixing once you reach stiff peaks. Over-whipping can cause the cream to turn to butter, making the cheesecake feel greasy rather than light and airy.
• The importance of Room Temperature Ingredients - If your cream cheese is even slightly cold, it will not incorporate smoothly with the Biscoff spread. You’ll end up with a grainy texture. Leave your blocks on the counter for at least 2 hours before starting.

• Press the Crust Firmly into the Tray - The cookie crumb mixture needs to be moistened enough by the butter so it holds together. It is also important to press the cookie mixture down with the back of a spoon to ensure it’s held together when removed from the tray.
• Let Portions Thaw Before Serving - The key is to un-mold the cheesecake when frozen for best results. 

How to Freezer & Store Freezer-Friendly No-Bake Biscoff Cheesecake

How to Freeze in Souper Cubes Trays - Freezing the cheesecake is the best way to ensure clean edges and easy removal of the cheesecake from the Souper Cubes half-cup silicone tray. Place the lid onto your filled trays and label with marker or tape. Place on a level surface in the freezer for at least 8 hours. When you are ready to serve, let the tray sit on the counter for 5 minutes. Press the bottom of the silicone well to "pop" the individual cheesecake cube out. Ideally, they are popped out of the freezer trays and thawed in the refrigerator overnight, and served chilled.

How long does cheesecake last in the freezer? We suggest storage in the freezer trays for up to 3 months and 6 months or longer in Souper Cubes Pre-cut Vacuum Sealed Bags.

How long does cheesecake last in the refrigerator? You can store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. We recommend taking them out of the silicone trays frozen for easy removal.

How to Thaw before Serving No-bake Biscoff Cheesecake - Since these are stored in the freezer, they will be firm. For the best creamy texture, place a frozen portion on a plate and thaw at room temperature for 20–30 minutes before eating.

FAQ

Why is my no-bake cheesecake soft? It likely needs more time in the freezer, if you used the ingredients called out in the recipe and followed the directions. If you made any swaps in ingredients, you may need more fat in your recipe. Be sure to use full-fat ingredients and let chill for the full 8 hours. The Biscoff spread helps firm up the recipe, so do not skimp on that measurement.

Can I use a different cookie? Yes! Chocolate wafers, gingersnaps, lemon cookies, and graham crackers will work. But keep in mind that you will lose that intense cookie butter flavor profile!

How do I get those perfectly clean sides? The secret is the pre-portioned Souper Cubes silicone trays.  Since the trays are flexible and you just have to pop out the no-bake cheesecake by releasing it from the sides, you avoid the cutting of the edges, keeping it clean.

Can I make these cheesecakes in different sized Souper Cubes trays? Yes, you can make these in Souper Cubes 2-cup trays, 1-cup trays or even mini bite sized in Souper Cubes 2-tablespoons trays!

Is Biscoff cheesecake better baked or no-bake? It depends on your preference! A baked cheesecake is dense and custard-like, while this no-bake Biscoff cheesecake is lighter, fluffier, and much easier to make-ahead. It also handles freezing significantly better than its baked counterpart.

What are common no-bake cheesecake mistakes? The most common mistakes are using cold cream cheese (resulting in lumps) and not chilling the cake long enough. 

Can this be made Vegan? Yes! Biscoff cookies are already vegan. Just substitute the cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream with full-fat versions of plant-based alternatives (like coconut cream and almond-based cream cheese).
